Expertise Summary

Research Summary

My research expertise is mainly related to geotechnical centrifuge modelling as well as numerical and analytical modelling. My current research includes:

• tunnelling;
• soil-structure interaction due to underground construction activities;
• Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) in layered materials;
• lateral loading of pile foundations in layered materials;
• characterisation and modelling of mine shaft security;
• ground borne vibrations from tunnels;
• dynamic soil-structure interaction.
